Alaba, Camavinga doubtful for Copa del Rey
Both players sustained injuries during Real Madrid’s 1-0 win at Getafe on Wednesday.
Defender David Alaba experienced muscular discomfort in the first half of the LaLiga match and was forced off.
Camavinga came on as his replacement but was later unable to continue, leaving Madrid with ten men late in the game.
Madrid head coach Carlo Ancelotti admitted that it would be “difficult” for Alaba and Camavinga to be fit for Copa del Rey final.
“We’ll have to see tomorrow,” Ancelotti said.
“He and Alaba both had muscular discomfort. Recovery for Saturday will be difficult.”
Anything can happen
Madrid’s win at Getafe kept them within four points of Barcelona at the top of the LaLiga table.
Despite Barcelona being considered favourites in the Copa del Rey, Ancelotti believes the final will be a level playing field.
“It’s a final,” Ancelotti said.
“Maybe there’s a favourite, but in a final, anything can happen.”
Meanwhile, Ancelotti also said that Fran García would be Madrid’s only option at left-back on Saturday.
